Worth knowing
Holthausen Botenbouw; cover, cost and conditions
Inland waters or coast: the cruising range is one of the details from which the premium results. Two model ranges are on record for Holthausen Botenbouw, the Volksboot 480 as a sailing boat from 2000 to 2006 and the Volksboot 600 as a sailing yacht from the years 1981 to 1987.
The two ranges were built in separate periods, and neither of them is in production today. Cover is provided regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners. Full hull cover records the value as an agreed value and pays with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"), in the Premium tariff with no age limit.
Besides the cruising range, type of boat, value, year of construction and, for sailing craft, the sail area go into the calculation. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros you take out the policy online, above that an individual assessment follows.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Do I have to determine the cruising range in advance?
The cruising range is one of the details given when the policy is taken out and goes into the premium, together with type of boat, value, year of construction and sail area or engine output. It can be chosen to match your waters.
Up to what sum does the online policy go?
Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros you can take out the policy online. If the value is above that, we examine the individual case and draw up a quotation on that basis.

Series by Holthausen Botenbouw, build years and cover
Volksboot 480 is a sailing boat from Holthausen Botenbouw, built from 2000 to 2006.
Volksboot 600 is a sailing yacht from Holthausen Botenbouw, built from 1981 to 1987.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
